‘these tips also applies to traditional pen and ink drawings’
Oh nice
‘use stabilization’
When you find that one brush that you fall in love with but forget which one it is
i (a procreate user) just drag it into a new file
I've been avoiding a certain art piece I have to get done before Christmas, but this video gives me the motivation to start it! Thanks for all the advice y'all have given, it has been so helpful!
words can't emphasize how convenient this vid is rn, literally finished a sketch and I suck at lineart lmao, thanks a bunch!
That stabilization part is EXACTLY what I needed, bc I LIKE my sketchy lines, but I HATE fighting how smooth using an art tablet makes it. The balance between the two helped me LOVE doing my lineart. :>
Beginning artists always say they get burned out by learning a lot too quickly, or not having the time to draw what they like. That’s why I say if you’re drawing everyday, dedicate only two or three days of the week to learning sometime new, practicing it, and trying to get better at it. Then for the rest of the days of the week you draw what you like while applying the new knowledge you acquired from the days you’ve studied.
I never really paid attention to stabilization so I've always been working with the default setting, which is really low lol.
I end up spending a LOT of time on linework trying to get solid lines (sometimes several hours), but the end result is this clean yet sketchy (or painterly?) look that I kinda like.
I'll definitely consider turning up the stabilization if I wanna get some lines done quicker. Thanks for the tips!!
I'm the same way, I usually never use Stabilization since it always felt like too much work for me (I use an app called Procreate on my iPad so if I want to change the stabilization I have to tap on each individual brush to change it) but now I think I'll try to use it more.
Winged Canvas: Talks about line weighting and pressure
Me: cries in drawing on phone
There are pens that you can plug in your phone's jack port so you can draw with pressure sensitivity, it's called sonarpen or something like that
I’d recommend not using stabilization for pure technical improvement, since traditional inking pros also learned with no stabilization. But I wouldn’t avoid it altogether and use it on digital pieces since it’s a tool like any other digital drawing tool
basically every popular digital artist uses stabilisation, it's not a crutch really, drawing clean traditional lines is much easier than drawing clean lines without stabilisation because of the grip of the paper and also just the lack of weird digital miscalculations, using low stabilisation is good but imo you basically need some and not using it at all is a pointless handicap that puts you in a worse position than traditional artists are in, and i'm saying that as someone who does both
might depend on your tablet too, i can imagine that expensive screen tablets may have better pen calculation and a more paperlike surface but many of us aren't working with something like that
@@lilliefluff That’s true, but for improving mechanically I wouldn’t use stabilize
I find that using a stabilizer just limits the flow or movement of my strokes. It feels like I draw better without it (and I draw traditionally a lot too). Different strokes for different folks, ig.
@@bimajuantara I usually have it set very low but still use some, and I use the Clip Studio Paint setting that lowers stabilisation when your pen is moving fast, it works really well and I don't feel limited in movement at all!
@@lilliefluff Yeah I hear you. I've tried a variety of drawing software, and hands down, CSP has the best brush engine and stabilizer. Krita comes in second (it's definitely the best for a freeware), and Photoshop is just meh. But still, I feel like my stroke isn't in the correct place when I use the brush stabilizer, regardless. I should probably give it another try and practice line art or something.
This honestly helps as a person who really struggles with lineart and prefers sketching more since it’s more fluid for me. I’ll start practicing more thanks to you😁
every program has stabilization- cries in traditional art 😭
this video was really helpful though especially looking at the different examples of using line weight!!
Appropriate grip techniques give traditional art a stabilization method... The flex allowed for your instruments helps maintain contact with the page (or other substrate) so your micro-movements and "jitter" doesn't wreck the lines and strokes. It's also why certain brushes have such long bristles while others are relatively short... even for the same medium. ;o)
They teach you base stabilization in grade school. If you look back at your writing back then you're gonna notice how shaky the lines were XD
I'm quite surprised by how fast this channel has been growing recently. Props to you guys. I hope you continue to pursue your dreams. ❤
Thanks for the stabilization tip!
So THATS how people color their line art! Thank you!
Just what I needed! The stabilization thing is AWESOME!
Some of these tips are going to save me so much time, thanks a lot for this video! I just started drawing digitally and I couldn't figure out how artists do cretain things, so I tried to replicate that technique my way and it took me SO LONG and it wasn't so effective either.
hoolyyyyy jeeeezzzz, I didnt know all i needed was the STABILIZATION for crisp looking lines.
Super aula!!! Queria muito aprender esses tipos e variações de linhas que os autores usam em suas artes!! E agora eu posso com esse vídeo! Thank you!
Really cool video ty!
It's a bit difficult for me to line weight with my dysgraphia, it tends to make me press down harder with my drawings and I tend to mess up with it BUT! these tips did help!
I completely forgot to turn on stabilization in clip studio paint 😂 thank you now I'll actually turn it on lol
Good tips
i dont know why but stabilization seems to always bother me. i feel like my art turns out way better on paper which has no stabilization. it has its uses but it feels more like it’s restricting my lines and makes them not seem ‘realistic enough’ i suppose. i don’t have full control of the lines i’m drawing and if my line ends up wobbly, i can always tweak it. i don’t need my lines to be absolutely perfect the first time.
Any chance y’all can make a video teaching us h o w to practice? Not really sure where to start tbh
thanks
Thanks for this video! I love doing animation but since my lineart on tablet is just THAT weak I always scan my drawings, they always look so much better and just add a certain texture to it. But basically I’m the kind of person who needs this.
God Bless! Thank you !
Also if anyone wants prayer you can ask!
Whoah, started watching WC just two days ago, comes across recent vid, cooliooo, My line-art game is alright but could be better, thanks for the wisdom ^ ^/
I think my biggest issue with lines is that I use my fingers to draw and I guess it's not as precise as using a pen (maybe specially in ibis paint, or maybe it's better idk) cause even when I try to control the pressure, it doesn't seem to work like it should, and I have to focus on speed instead of pressure
thats fine for casual drawing, but if u want to improve your digital art id recommend investing in a cheap drawing tablet. it doesnt have to be fancy (mines garbage and is going strong 4 years later), but it allows for more control and line weighting. if u need a drawing software there are plently of good free ones (i personally use krita)
How to make lining NoT hairy
About the stabilization for some people the end result or after you add line-art they do not like it so maybe lowering the stabilization or turn off the stabilization and use different brushes with different textures probably will give it more personalities and it’s okay adding some sketch’s around some edges (there is some art styles that don’t suit this tip and don’t force your self to try it if you think it’s hard :D)
AAAAAAHHHH! DX I knew that my lineart sucked, and I knew deep inside that there was no quick way to make it not suck, but I was really hoping OTL
Thank you for kicking me in the pants. Line weight is so hard for me. I can't comprehend where weight should go and where it shouldn't. Guess I'm just on my own for that part.
I used to draw digital art with my mouse, now I draw mostly on my phone with my fingers, and sometimes on my tablet with a very simple pen that just has a round rubber-I-think tip that can fall off.
So I have always drawn digitally with no pressure, so all my lineart always ends up being the same thickness, and I think if I did try to use thickness it would quickly drive me crazy coz the one time I tried using a "normal" digital pen and a tablet (without screen, simply a sort of sensor), the lines would keep breaking even if I wasn't taking the pen off the tablet, and I hated that, so I quickly gave up on it.
It's hard for me to control how much pressure I'm putting when I draw, I don't wanna be too light so the screen doesn't register it, but thankfully my phone and tablet with the very light and kinda primitive pen I use for it are sensitive enough to register it, unlike what I tried years ago.
Still, when I look at other people's lineart and see that beautiful variety in thickness, it looks so professional, and then I compare it to my own same-thickness lines and I wonder how they do it.
If it's about pressure though, I don't think I can do it, my patience with delicate mechanics is pretty short. ^^;
The alternative is to manually make the lines thicker, which I also think would not be fun for me coz how much does it really matter in the end, and would I actually put in that much effort for so little? Probably not.
Maybe if I had an actual pen, like a better one and for a screen tablet and not a sensor one, but at the same time, I dunno.
The most I could think of for my manga is that I could probably just use different thickness for different distances, like if drawing a person that is really far away I'd use very thin lines, vs a person drawn very close I'd use thicker lines, but as for using different thickness for the same object depending on perspective (thin far away, thick up close, like a punch towards the viewer), ehhhh, I dunno.
I also simply cannot let my own line art have any gaps in it, my OCD will not allow it, and yet when I see other people's line art that has several gaps in it, along with the variety of thickness, I think it looks nice, and I don't know how the heck this is supposed to work.
Ugh, line art is harder than I thought...
Yo, every time I see one of these videos, I always notice you using a brush called "Textured painting 4". u know where i could get that brush?
So that is the purpose of gesture practice. I thought it was simply posing, but it's for exaggerated poses and to build on the fly thinking as you draw.
Does anyone else's pen pressure not work? I have a huion tablet and I use csp and I've never been able to get any sort of pen pressure line weight thing working for me. I think I had it at one point but I turned it off and now I have no idea how to get it back.
2:25 that background gives me 2003 TMNT vibes tbh
If you draw more traditionaly than digitaly I'd recommend not using stabilization! Of course you cant use stabilization in traditional art so you have to learn to draw lines smoother (tip: when inking I'd recommend using fast, not slow lines so it doesn't turn out shaky [if she hasn't already said that]) this tut helped a lot, thanks!!
I practice 10 mins everyday to improve drawing a hand, not 100% but it works
I have a Pocket Mouse that I use for digital art sometimes. Would that tool be recommended or is a sketch tablet preferred?
I have a pocket mouse pen, they kind of suck for art in my experience. You might be able to get it to work for you with practice, but it's just not very precise.
4:25 any idea on how i can change black lines like this into colored lines in painttool sai
Does it have a "protect alpha" option?
"It's better to draw 10 minutes a day than 3 hours a week"
Damn I feel called out 😂
But it is something I'll put into practice, thanks for the help :D
I like basically can't stay a day without drawing so like when she said draw 10mins everyday not 3h a week I was like
I draw 5h+ everyday lmao
1:10 so uh, quick question.. how did you copy that sketch? Like.. how did you make two copies of that sketch? Whenever i try to do it on medibang paint it just pastes it on another layer. And i have to merge these two layers later which is kinda annoying .. is there a better/ shorter way to make another copy of your sketch? :D
I don’t think so, when you copy and paste something it puts it on a new layer for most programs I’m pretty sure
@@andyjamescreative yeah i figured it out. I've never tried digital art on a pc before, so I'm pretty much a beginner xpp.
What app do you use for your drawings?
i believe this is CSP
what if I don't have a pen? I use my mouse and finger to paint in mi tablet lol.
3:49 kurapika
I never use stabilization. Idk I just don't like the lag
HYEIN's voice 🫢❤️👍
Does ibisPaint have stabilization?
Or procreate or pocket procreate
yes
IbisPaint does have it! It's under the button with the index finger
Dunno about Procreate since I don't use it, but afaik it does
procreate does, its in the individual brush settings.
Lineart is hard :((
Anyone know how stabilization works on ibis paint?
You probably already have figured it out, but if you tap on the finger pointing up on the top right corner of your screen, you will see stabilizer
@@Mayo18133 I did but thanks anyways!
I unfortunately don’t have a pen so I’m basically using m6 finger to draw..
Are you drawing with a mouse? Is that even reasonable? Or could you go over what equipment to buy?
"keep it all mice and clean..."
sadly sketchbook has this weird stabilization-ish thing that just TURNS YOUR LINES INTO STRAIGHT LINES (predictive stroke :( )
Only the real ones will know this is a repost
hi first!? whaaat
2nddd
me who doesnt know where stabilization is on procreate 😰
It’s on the brush settings, the tab that says ‘stabilisation’. I use the first slider, the one under the first ‘amount’. The rest are for a but more advanced settings i think. Hope it helped and you could understand my horrible explaining tools XD
early!!!
You forgot 1 major tip. Have patience
There are no absolute rules. All artists are different. Create your own style. Be yourself.
You guys use lineart ? I just make vector art .
0:07 "can also apply to traditional."
*talks about pen stabilization*
Pen stabilization in traditional is based on how you hold your pen, how hard you press, and your line confidence.
How can I practice line weight with a pen that has no pressure sensitivity feature? I'm on an iPad 9th generation with Procreate and a 3rd party pen.
i hated lineart so much ever since i tried digital art but with this, it gets me interested and wanna try out more 😭🫶 thank you for the tips and advice 🥺💕
